She was fabulous from the word go, nothing was to much hassle

I was lucky enough to have Rachael photograph my wedding and my lord was it incredible. From the second she introduced herself to me on the day she immediately had me at ease. We found out on the day that we couldn’t use a certain part of our venue for photos as it was already being used. So before I know it Rachael had gone off and found some lovely areas a short drive away and took us there. Rachael fit in with every member of the wedding party and was constantly coming up with ideas and positions. Oh and onto it off…she had a drone!!!

Couldn't ask for a better photographer on our wedding day!

Couldn't ask for a better photographer on our wedding day!
Rachael couldn't have put us more at ease, from the planning/prep all the way to the last photo taken on the day. She went above and beyond for us, including pulling out a paper fan after noticing the heat in the bridal room for me. Felt more like having a friend taking photos rather than a serious photo shoot. After seeing just a few sneak peek photos from our wedding yesterday, we're already over the moon with how amazing the photos are!
I cannot recommend Rachael more! All of our guests and Bridesmaids were singing Rachael's praises throughout. She really helped make our day extra special xxx

to put it simply, she was nothing short of brilliant

We were incredibly fortunate to have Rachael as our wedding photographer, and to put it simply, she was nothing short of brilliant. From the outset, Rachael's dedication and attention to detail were evident, as she made it clear that no request was too much trouble. She went above and beyond to ensure that every moment, every emotion, and every detail of our special day was captured beautifully.

What truly impressed us was Rachael's ability to capture moments that we weren't even aware of ourselves. It was like reliving the day through her lens, discovering the magic and joy that we may have missed amidst the whirlwind of the occasion. Her keen eye and creative approach resulted in a collection of photographs that exceeded our expectations in every way.

She managed to get some stunning photos of my niece, whic is no easy task. Rachael has a remarkable talent for capturing the essence and innocence of children, and those images are treasures that our family will cherish forever.

Without hesitation, I would wholeheartedly recommend Rachael to anyone in need of a photographer. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for her craft shine through in every aspect of her work. In fact, we're already looking forward to the opportunity to work with her again when we start our own family, knowing that she will undoubtedly capture the precious moments of our future children with the same skill and care.

Thank you, Rachael, for immortalising our wedding day in such a beautiful and meaningful way. You truly are a gifted photographer, and we are immensely grateful for the memories you've given us.

You NEED to book Rachael !!!

If you are getting married you NEED to book Rachael !!! We had the greatest pleasure of having Rachael shot our wedding and she is incredible. Not only is she creative but she is extremely friendly. There was not a moment she didn’t fail to make me laugh as well as making me cry with the beautiful sneak peek of my daughter she managed to capture. I am so thankful we were able to share the day with her and have her capture all the amazing parts. I can not wait to see all of our no doubtable amazing photos.

Absolutely brilliant

Absolutely brilliant the photos just say it all. Rachael answered any questions I had, very friendly and approachable by myself and wedding guests. Also not afraid to tell people if they need to move in or out, and clear the background to ensure all pictures are perfect. She answered all the questions about album selection, additional pages and prices and made the process so easy! I would definitely recommend for your wedding photography. I would book in early so your day does not get booked up. We had the whole day package, and do not regret a thing!

So friendly

From our first chat with Rachael, we knew we couldn't have anyone else as our photographer. She was so friendly and answered all our questions with ease. Chatting with Rachael in the lead up to the wedding was just like talking things through with a friend, all our guests commented on how lovely she was, and we both felt totally at ease with her. She made the whole process so lovely.
Thank you so much for capturing our day beautifully

Amazing customer service, wonderful photographer

We were delighted with the professional service provided by Rachael. She was excellent from the word to go! She was so helpful and set our minds at rest. She went above and beyond for us, and we are so grateful. We got a beautiful album as well as a parent album too. Our mums just love it. Thank you for helping make our memories last and who knows in a year or two we may see you again for a newborn shot, watch this space! x x x

stunning family photo

After Rachael took a stunning family photo of us at a family wedding, we decided to book in for a Christmas mini-shoot. Our toddler wasn’t as cooperative as we’d hoped on the day and I was a little concerned we wouldn’t get the images we’d like. I needn’t have worried as Rachael worked her magic and the finished photographs were amazing - beyond anything I’d hoped for! Such good quality and a lovely keepsake.
